Philly Cracks Down on Deed Fraud, Rising Water Bills & Rent Relief | GNBN with We Talk Weekly
In this episode of *We Talk Weekly’s Good News / Bad News*,
Classy Lady Sparkle and the team break down some of the most important updates shaping Philadelphia. Mayor Cherelle Parker is making headlines with the city’s **first-ever automatic biostatic verification system** to stop deed fraud before it happens—a crime that has stolen generational wealth from too many Black and brown families. We also cover the **9.4% increase in water bills** as the city funds a massive overhaul of its water infrastructure to protect public health and keep safe water flowing for generations to come. Plus, learn about Philly’s groundbreaking **guaranteed income program for renters**, offering \$300 per month to low-income families to help stabilize housing and prevent eviction.
From protecting homeowners, to supporting renters, to preparing for cleaner, safer water—these stories highlight the balance between challenges and progress in our city. And to keep things lively, the team dives into cultural news, including Drake’s controversial choice of interview platforms and the buzz around a potential **Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather** fight.
Stay tuned for resources, perspectives, and the conversations that matter most to our community.
